What is employee engagement? Mix of factors including commitment to the organisation, job satisfaction, and ‘organisational citizenship’ – the willingness to go beyond your job description

Engaged employees: perform better are more innovative are more likely to stay with their current employer levels of absenteeism are lower enjoy greater levels of personal well- being

Staff engagement – when does it work? Employees need to feel that their organisation is interested in them They need to be given opportunities to express their views and to know that their opinions will make a difference Both senior and line managers need to be involved

Tools Intranet site (Cybernews) Newsletter (Eurostat-Infos) Staff opinion surveys Lunchtime presentations / information sessions Photo competitions / art exhibitions Formal and informal breakfasts Annual General Assembly and Christmas party Well-being room / gym classes

Staff opinion surveys, or employee attitude surveys First step in measurement of employee attitudes (2011 – 67.1% staff response rate) Organised every two years by staff members, with support from management Coordinator plus steering committee, including head of internal communication Progress regularly communicated to staff and management alike
